What is WordFood?
WordFood is what we say to one another, the words that we speak. It is how we feed or starve our relationships…how we grace or disgrace each other with our language.

WordFood is our ability to use our words to change a life with guidance. To inspire someone to be better. To lift someone’s spirits with our encouragement.

WordFood is the gift of language that we all too often take for granted..the inherent ability that humans have to touch one another with our words.

When you speak to someone, the words you serve up, together with your tone and posture, form a kind of psychological “meal.”  Your messages provide verbal nutrition that others take in as food for the mind and spirit.  Just like physical food, your message is digested and absorbed by our mental and emotional bodies. The verbal meal you serve up can be nourishing or it can be toxic.

Each day you start the day feeding yourself a diet of words when you face yourself in the mirror. What do you say to your image?

A Good Word Diet
WordFood is all about becoming aware of and responsible for everything you say. Beginning with your relationship with yourself, it encourages you to feed yourself a diet of healthy, encouraging words based on the WordFood Pyramid, four WordFood Groups that build powerful and positive relationships. Each group serves a different purpose in a different aspect of our connection with ourselves and others in our personal lives, at work, and within our communities.

WordFood teaches you about seven archetypal diets that you come into contact with every day, from the Water and Bones diet that starves you for words to the Fruit and Nut fanatics. The healthy Fish and Vegetables to the fawning Ice Cream and Cake. How can you deal with them? How can you get them to talk to you in a more healthy way? How do you work with people who are dysfunctional and feeding you unhealthy WordFood? This program teaches you how.

Above all, WordFood is about changing the conversation… with yourself, with your coworkers, with your family, and your community members. It is about rethinking what you choose to listen to and take in as verbal nutrition. It gives you the skills to understand the sometimes dysfunctional WordFood you receive from others, and how to guide them to a healthier exchange.

What Could You Learn?
WordFood seminars are perfect for teams, employee networks, diversity training, and all levels of managers. It is a completely different kind of communications training.

You will learn how to take charge of your language. You’ll learn how to be responsible for everything that comes out of your mouth and everything that you take in.

You’ll learn how to recognize and understand seven types of diets that others feed you, and whether you’re feeding others these kinds of diets yourself. And you’ll learn how to draw from the four WordFood Groups of the WordFood Pyramid to get back to healthy exchanges with others.

You’ll modify your inner conversation first, and then with everyone else. As a result you’ll see your relationships shift and change for the better in every aspect of your life. You’ll feel more in control, happier and more productive. And everyone will respond to you more positively as a result. At work you may see less turnover, more productivity, better work relations. There is no end to what positive WordFood can do and what it can do when it spreads virally as you model it.
